Girlfriend's mom threw my Cardas out with trash

UNACCEPTABLE!
Tell your girlfriend she can replace the cable herself, or with your mother-in-law, she can detail your place until it's in the same condition as your cable was....
Otherwise you'll be emotionally & audibly scarred for life!

I'd request that my girlfriend issue me 25 IOU's which can be used for ANYTHING at any time. Whether they're used for cancellation of honeydo's or (ahem...) certain other physical stress reduction activities....either way they'd be well worth the $$$.

As far as her mother goes, kindly request that she please not "help out" in the future unless she wants her daughter to be forever your indentured servant.......

Lastly, call your insurance and see if they will cover it (if your deductable is low enough). Also, I don't know if they were purchased with either a gold VISA or MC but some of them will cover loss/theft of a recently purchased item.....you might check with the issuing bank if you used plastic...

Sorry to hear about it.....

Is she good looking???

Yes I think you should do that!/ I would say that
this comes under the extended warranty

I guess this is late to suggest this, but, home insurance might actually cover this, minus your deductible. However it could result in higher rates for a few years.

ps: There is no limit the extent to which women will go to test a man's composure.... if you kept your cool, and impressed a good woman, then it was worth the price.
